Meh. The fourth German team won't do any better than the fourth Italian team.

Guess Italy is paying the price for not taking UEFA Cup/Europa League seriously over the past few seasons.

That isn't how the system works Michael.

Hmm...but then the Spaniards would complain/argue that they deserve a 5th spot. I think 4 max is more than enough.

Here's a wacky idea. How about, in a league called the 'champions league', one team (the 'champions') from each league qualify?

Lets play predict which two teams will be in the finals?

Wouldn't always be the case Michael. Would be more even spread than it is now. Back to the good old days of the European Cup, no seedings, straight knockout, one from each country.

And the better leagues (Prem, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue Un etc) can enter their Cup winner as well.
You know we belong together...

Or they could enter this other competition, called (and i'm going out on a limb here) the 'cup winners cup'?

Where will the spot go?  Will it be played off for by a load of teams from lower leagues or be given as an extra to another country?

I read that, due to Inter's victory, Italy will retain their fourth spot for next season.
